Understated elegance lends spectacular class to the floral design of this range in its cool hues of blue or grey and relaxed tones of subtle rose or mustard. Medina is fashionably on point with its exceptionally chic, faded look. It's Trendy, but features a classic design, so it will highlight the features of a room without being overbearing in any way. This rug with its contemporary countenance will create an ambient, genteel mood in your living space that will, certainly, be an element of ongoing pride. FEATURES:
Of all the Turkish pieces we have carried over the years, Medina Dark Blue is among the more enduring.
Built and finished
At a glance: Anatolian-woven. We've worked with Turkish mills for decades — the country's heritage in rugs runs deep, and the power-loom programmes are some of the most consistent in the world. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic, which means stains do not bond to the fibre the way they would with a natural staple. At 10mm, this is a sensible everyday pile — substantial without being shaggy, easy to keep clean. The yarn count is dense enough that the pattern reads sharply without losing softness underfoot.
On the design
Blue is a forgiving colour in a rug — it reads calm, it works in coastal rooms, and it sits beautifully against the white walls common in Australian builds. Look at the surface in different light through the day and the rug picks up subtle variations the photo doesn't quite catch. Layered over a hard floor, it gives a room the visual weight it usually needs at floor level.
Practical notes
In practice, we see this style most often in a Melbourne apartment that needs a piece to anchor a polished concrete floor. For everyday care, vacuum weekly and spot-clean spills as they happen — a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent handles almost anything. The pile does not snag, which matters if you have a clawed animal in the house. Build the room around it. It will hold the centre and stay quiet while the rest of the space changes around it.
Sizing
Have a tape measure handy before you commit — our Rug Size Guide has the layouts most of our customers end up choosing.
Worth the cost of admission for any room that needs a quiet, well-made centre point.
Common questions
Will this rug shed?
No, not in the meaningful sense. Synthetic pile is heat-set rather than spun from short staple fibres, so you may see a small amount of fibre in the first week and very little after that.
Will the rug fade in direct sun?
Some fade is possible if a rug sits in direct, unfiltered sun day after day — that's true of any rug. The dyes used here are UV-stabilised and hold up well to the conditions in most Australian rooms.
Does it work with a robot vacuum?
Yes for low and medium piles. For the deeper shaggies in our range, a robot vacuum will struggle a bit — you'll get better results with a regular upright on a higher setting.
Is the colour the same on both sides?
No — the pile side is the finished face. The reverse shows the construction and is usually a slightly different colour because the dye penetrates the surface rather than the entire fibre.
Can I steam clean this rug?
Light steam is fine for synthetic pile. Avoid prolonged direct heat in one spot, and let the rug dry completely before walking on it.
